This easy Slow Cooker Butter Chicken simmers in a rich and creamy sauce packed with bold spices that soak right into every tender bite.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless/skinless
- 1 ½ cups tomato puree
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Add the chicken thighs into the bottom of your slow cooker insert.
- Add the garam masala, ground cumin, ground turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, garlic and ginger over the top.
- Pour the tomato puree on top and add the butter in small cubes.
- Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours or until the chicken has cooked though and is falling apart.
- Remove the chicken and chop into smaller bite size pieces, then return the chicken back into the sauce.
- Pour the heavy cream in and mix to combine. Cook on high for 5 minutes.
- Top with the chopped cilantro and it’s ready to serve. I like to serve mine over cauliflower rice, but you can serve it over rice, noodles or anything else you like.
